What Can Be Done.

Frequently the editor of this paper
receives inquiries from parties In the
east as to the resources OF the county
and what chance a man with small
means. or no means at all, stands
of gaining home here. We always
answer these letters to the best OF our
ability, setting forth the advantages
OF our county and advising the right
class OF immigrants to come and
make their homes with us; but we
are handicapped by lack of reading
matter descriptive OF the county.
We do the best we can through the
paper at our own expense, sending as
high as fifty copies to people who
promise to circulate them. Ii, how
ever, the county authorities would
take an interest in the matter, we
believe immigrants OF the best class
would soon come into the county in
large numbers. They would help
support our schools, build roads, and
contribute to the general wea, u b and
prosperity, and in a very few years
their names would appear on the tax
rolls, sharing the burden we now
have to place upon a comparatively
few. 1t would be good public poll
CIV, and we are sure the taxpayers
would approve of it. for our county
court to appropriate a reasonable
sum OF money to secure the printing
and distribution of pamphlets setting
forth the advantages OF our county
and the inducements it offers to I'M
migrants. 1t is sometimes said that
we do not need immigration, but We
hardly think sensible men pay any at
tention to such a statement. With
out immigration we cannot have
roads, churches, school houses, trav-
cling or mail facilities, or the many
conveniences and benefits that make
up a well ordered civiliZation.-St.
HelenS Mist.

la Brief. And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
pat out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not TO be,
have made the American people n
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
cEn enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Arrival Of the Courtney Ford"

The American brig Courtney Ford
arrived in yesterday, fourteen days
from Bristol bay, Alaska, with twen-
ty white men, residents OF Astoria,
sixty-six Cinnamon and several thou
sand cases salmon aboard, from the
Alaska Packing Co.'s cannery. Ev-
eryone is reported well and the sea-
son was profitable.
The Courtney Ford was loaded
here last spring and sailed April 2.
with an outfit provided by the
Scandinavian Packing Co., which is
chief owner in the Alaska Packing
Co. The season was busy one for
all hands. The Sadie II. Keller, q
three-masted schooner sailed from
there with 1000 cases of the can.
nery's pack for San Francisco August
10th, and has probably reached San
Francisco by this time.
The vessel will discharge her cargo
at the Sc andinavian Co.'S wharf,
where the salmon will be lacquered,
labeled, and recased.
This is only one of several similar
enterprises in Alaska and elsewhere
fitted out by Astorians. Astoria is
the headquarters and base of sup
plies for every cannery from the Cal.
itornia line to Behring's sea.
The whale feet ought, OF right
have its headquarters here, and wheI
the great wealth OF food fish in tha
adjacent waters is utilized by being
caught and shipped to market, Asto
ria will be the proper and probable
entrepot for the trade.

grainer in America. [ worked under
instruction with him until he pro-
nounced me a workman. Since then l
have worked in nearly all the leading
cities i'm America and in many of the
finest residences. / have papers 10

the best of satisfaction. Those wishing
to look over my record i will be pleased
to crafty.

not pay in so small place.
When / get in my new quarters,
shall have samples of all kinds of inte-
rIor painting and granting, my own ex.
ecution and design. am here, capable
and willing to do as good work as any
general workman on the coast. Your
patronage and appreciation is what
keeps me here. / don't draw cent I'M.

In q pamphlet issued lately by the
o. 8. photographic Office, Lieut..
Underwood says that mineral oils
are not so effective for use at sea as
vegetable or animal. A comparative
ly small amount OF the righs kind
OF oil, say two quarts per hour, prop
erly used, is sufficient, he asserts, to
prevent much damage, both to ves-
sells and to small boats, in heavy
seas. The greatest result from oil
Is obtained in deep water. In q surf,
or where water is breaking on a bar,
the effect is not 80 certain; but even
in this case oil may be of benefit. and
its use is recommended by Lieut.
Underwood. He advises that, when
an attempt is about. to be made to
board q wreck, the approaching vessel
should use the oil after running as
close az possible under the lee of the
wreck. The wreck will soon drift
into the oil, and then boat may be
sent alongside of her.
